Rename the local branch, push it to the remote, and then delete the old remote branch.
To be precise, renaming a remote branch is not direct – you have to delete the old remote branch name and then push a new branch name to the repo. Step 2: Reset the upstream branch to the name of your new local branch by running git push origin -u new-branch-name .
